Q: Can you tell us more about the team focusing this week on third downs?RW: "Yeah. There’s a major focus on third downs. I mean, if you think about if we get our third downs going, I mean, we have a great chance to being very, very explosive. I believe that we are the second-most explosive team in the National Football League, or something like that. So if we could get our third downs going, which we will, I think that at the end of the day it comes down to just executing the play. Just finding a way -- at all costs -- just finding a way to make the first down. So that’s what it comes down to. And for us, if we can do that, with our defense, with our offense, being able to move the ball the way we do, we will have a great chance of being very, very hard to stop."
